Hello to everybody

I've noticed that several widgets offer a method 
	get_id 
that returns their unique ID.

I think that this could stand for a powerful mean for retrieving a widget: 
i.e. when having conditional, interwoven callbacks, I could use ref opt 
values for IDs.

But how do I retrieve a widget by its unique ID? I can't find this anywhere in 
the GTK documentation.

Maybe it's a Xserver ID that could be useful to other clients on the Xserver, 
but does not correspond to a GTK object any longer?
